Very unhappy with this DVD player 
2008-03-10
This is the 4th portable DVD player we have owned and by far the worst! We previously had another Philips single DVD player that was great, but it was stolen so we got this one instead. SAVE YOUR $$$. Half the time it doesn't play the DVD at all.
TERRIBLE! DO NOT BUY!!!

My wife and I bought this from Target in anticipation of a long road trip with the kids. Having read horror stories about portable DVD players, I took it out of the box right away and tested it. Everything ran fine. Right as we were leaving, I installed the player in the car and it instantly would find any disc I would insert. We delayed our trip departure for 45 minutes to exchange it at Target for a working unit, which ran fine the entire 4 hours of the trip. Then, two days later, it froze in the middle of a DVD. Upon restart, every DVD gave the same "No Disc" error after spinning for about 3 minutes. The Philips support site seems to recognize that there is an issue, but then insults you by suggesting that everything has to do with the laser lens not being clean. I am returning it to Target again today and will not be re-purchasing.
Did not fit our car's head restraints 2007-07-11
We purchased this at Target prior to reading any reviews. To our dismay, the head restraint mounts are more suited for a 1978 Nova (no offense to Nova owners :)). We considered using Velcro straps or longer screws to mount the unit in our Volvo, but decided it wasn't worth the risk of it flopping around.
We called Phillips customer support, and they were no help. They acted like we were the first people to call and inquire if they had a different mounting system.
I'm sure it's a nice dvd player, but we just can't get past the fact that we can't use it in our car as advertised or as we intended. We're going to return the unit. Unless your head restraints are adjustable with posts between the seatback and the top portion, keep shopping.
Good Portable Option

I went and purchased this on a whim after my 10.2 inch DVD died after 2 months. This has two screens that mount to the headrest in a very secure manner, which eliminates the 'swing' problem of the one DVD screen strapped between the seats. The mount is very secure and is at a good height for my children to view it in the backseat of our minivan. I like the controls and the ease of use. The picture is excellent quality.
The con is that the battery cannot be used when the player is mounted on the headrest because it covers the connections, so it must be plugged into the cigarette lighter for car viewing. Not a big deal for us, but something to keep in mind.
This player seems better quality than my previous player. I would recommend the extended warranties for these - they get banged around a lot and are fragile.
Decent Player 2007-05-21
A little hesistant to buy since target doesn't have a samply one hooked up to see quality. Bought one and charged it and it didn't read any new DVDs. Well, took it back thinking would get a different brand. But none of the other players, for the price, seem to match up. Its nice that the dvd player has a battery pack so we could take it on the plane. But also since it comes with the extra screen my daughter gets her own to watch as well. Plus I like the brackets to attach to my headrest easy and sturdy so far. Only drawback so far is you cant charge the battery if you have the monitor attached to the headrest. The removeable battery covers the mount hookup.
